“No manager is the same and this one has his own plans that he wants to implement,” the full-back said.

“What he wants to do can’t happen overnight but the boys are buying into it and hopefully it will all start to come to fruition pretty soon.

“Obviously, I want to be a part of things and now that I’m fit again at least I’ve got the opportunity of achieving that.”

Foley played 90 minutes against a London Academy select this week - his first full game since facing Swansea last April- after recovering from a knee injury.

“The injury was on-going from the start of the pre-season. It niggled all the way through and I wasn’t training how I wanted to, at full tempo, so I ended up having a few weeks out”, he said.

“The irritation was at the back of the knee but thankfully it seems to have cleared up now. I think that the rest helped rather than me trying to carry on and making it worse, and the physios did a good job on me. It just came on from nothing really which things like this often do when you don’t train at full level, every day.

“I’m feeling good now especially after having got 90 minutes in when we played a behind closed doors friendly at the training ground this week.”
